The Ken McElroy contains a good amount of information, however, some fact checking and general cleanup work needs to be done. - mobyrock 14:56, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

There was an editing conflict and much of the sourced material I posted got trashed. I put it back. The sources for this are the Court TV page and the In Broad Daylight book. Somebody in between my initial edit put in a bunch of stuff that I think came from the movie. You can't used "based on a true story" as a source! Americasroof 00:57, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] rewrite
This page reads terribly, has no continuity whatsoever and does not reference any sources. It needs a complete rewrite. --Tainter 05:27, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Skidmore-daylight-dvd.jpg
Image:Skidmore-daylight-dvd.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Deleting the American Criminal Category
He was never convicted of anything. He doesn't fit into the small group of bad-guys who get into the category by this exception:
"Have committed notable and unambiguously verifiable felony criminal acts, but have gone unconvicted for reasons other than lack of proof such as death during the commission of the crime where the allegation of criminal activity was undisputed, undisputed confession, death during appeal where guilt was undisputed, or being a fugitive from justice where original guilt was undisputed." David in DC (talk) 19:27, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
- My argument above is too broad. This is more accurate: His conviction was not final. He was out on appeal where his guilt WAS disputed, so he doesn't fit the narrow exception quoted above. David in DC (talk) 19:38, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
